Yes i do – Wedding proposal in Zakynthos

I am so happy that i did some research before i booked my wedding proposal.. By far Nefis Travel was recommended on nearly any social media page i went and my oh my have they all been right! From the first contact with Mariska and Jackie by email until the day that was guided by Taki and the captain , everything was absolutely perfect .. and we have the pictures to prove it .. Thank you so much Nefis Travel all of your team has been outstanding …We honestly van not thank you enough ..Peter and Suzanne

Nefis Travel was by far the best choice in regards to making my proposal perfect. I couldn’t believe how easy they made such a stressful situation seem. When browsing through the various proposal options I decided to with the sunset proposal package they offered and it did not disappoint. The staff was very accommodating with my time constraints and provided meaningful insight on the details of when and where the proposal would take place. Everything was booked for me and basically all I had to do was show up when the time was right. When we were picked up by the guide in front of our hotel, my then girlfriend had absolutely no idea what was about to happen. It was a luxury bus with complimentary Wifi and refreshments. We also noticed how clean the vehicle was as well. To start we went to a private winery tour and had a personal wine tasting with a beautiful view. My girlfriend was over the moon. Next, we were taken on a guided tour around the highlands of Zante, even stopping for a few photo opportunities. Afterwards, we stopped by a Olive Oil store where they made their products in-house. Finally, we went to dinner next to the beach in a private area with a perfect view of the sunset. The table had a nice white tablecloth and complimentary wine to enjoy. The meal was also included in the package. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept organic and casual conversation throughout the excursion, curbing any suspicion my girlfriend may have had. When it was time to finally pop the question the guide, who doubled as the photographer, was in perfect position and captured the moment I proposed and she said ‘Yes!’ They even provided a thumb-drive with ALL of our photos the very next day, delivered right to our room. It was amazing. My now wife continues to tell me that she felt like she was in a fairy tale and felt like a princess. She couldn’t have imagined a more perfect proposal, and for that I will ALWAYS be grateful to Nefis Travel.

I am so happy i did some research on the internet, as there are a few companies that offer wedding proposals services on Zante but Nefis Travel by far looked more professional then the rest. The whole day (I had organized a private boat trip to the blue caves and shipwreck bay) was even so much more than I expected. From the pick up by a luxury Mercedes, the great tour by an beautiful open speedboat , to the proposal ..Our guide Taki made sure my girlfriend never expected anything..It was all Perfect! And stress free, so important on a day like that. Taki is also a great photographer and in the evening he came to bring us the USB with some amazing shots of our day! I can not thank Nefis Travel enough !! what a day it was! Thank you from the bottom of my heart …Ben

Dear Jacky,
We want to thank you for the well organized evening! Without you, it would never have been this memorable proposal. Everything was really well organized to the last detail! And most importantly.. she said YES .. The date for the wedding is scheduled for May 21, 2021. Once again a big thank you to Mariska for the super email contact and Guide Taki for a beautiful evening framed with very beautiful pictures !! Chapeau !! Victory and Ruben

Dear Jackie
Thank you so much!! Our day was so enchanting from the very start until the finish. Your guide Taki is a real credit for your company! We have recommended you to many of our friends , so be aware your gonna be very busy LOL. Suzy and John

Unforgettable…
Completely surprised, my to be husband (as it turns out later) takes me on a Private tour.
Our private driver Takis takes us to some beautiful places on enchanting Zakynthos.
We do wine tasting at a very nice winery and visit an olive press where we learm how olive oil is made..
Then in the evening, we travel for the sunset at a restaurant on top of a mountain with the most amazing a sea view, I was just lost for words!
Photos are made, wine is served ..
On a patio entirely for us alone, stunning decorated table with flowers and of course the beautiful surroundings of mountains and sea, accompanied by a beautiful setting sun.
Then a marriage proposal that I will never forget!
Delicious food and bubbles , in one word amazing!
Thank you Nefis travel, and of course Takis for an unforgettable experience and the beautiful pictures !!
We will definitely come back again, to celebrate our wedding with you again!!

Our VIP trip with Nefis-travel was PERFECT!
What I thought would be a quiet day at the pool has turned into one of the most beautiful days in my life. We were picked up by a friendly man Takis, who explained in detail what we were going to do. In the car we have learned a lot more about the island and Greece as a whole. A few stops with the luxury Mercedes to take pictures, and then through the boat with a friendly and experienced captain visited all kinds of places that were simply beautiful, where is allowed to snorkel, just enjoy. When we arrived at a amazing Private Beach, my friend went on his knees and asked me to marry, YES: D !! There were flowers, a bottle of bubbles and a few more attentions, photos were taken. Everything was thought of. A day that we will never forget.
Then we celebrate our new road with the 2 off us at a beautiful de decorated table in the restaurant, Nikos by the sea with a beautiful view, could not be better.
In the evening there was also an envelope delivered to our hotel with a USB stick with all our photos on it, and with a card to congratulate us.
Everything is really taken care of, the time (so that we do not end up in a mass cloud), the small details, the places, and the attentions.Everything was answered quickly via e-mail, and Jackie and Mariska were always friendly (this is something that my fiancé tells us, because he has arranged everything)
We would recommend Nefis-travel to everyone, and will definitely make a trip with them in the future with our visits in Zakynthos
Many many thanks again!

Words can’t describe, how good Nefis Travel are! I have never written a review before, however I couldn’t let this go unsaid as truly one of the best travel/tour companies for service I’ve ever experienced. Nefis Travel helped me in planning the perfect day to propose to my then girlfriend. From the upfront planning and communication to the night before face to face meeting, I couldn’t have asked for more. The day itself was one of the most memorable days I’ve ever had. Takis arrived promptly at 8:20am at our hotel reception to pick us up for what my girlfriend believed to be a group tour of the Blue Caves and Shipwreck beach. Once we got into the lovely car, Takis talked us through what the day would consist of, pointing out on the map where we would be going and what we would see. So we headed off, towards the marina, while Takis was giving us commentary on the history of the island and highlighting points of interest. When we got to the marina there was no big tour boat, like my girlfriend had envisioned but a private speed boat just for the two of us! Off we set on the speedboat, to shipwreck beach. Once there Takis told us to go have a look around. While out of sight he set out Champagne and flowers ready for me to ask the question. Fortunately she said yes!! We had the entire beach to ourselves and everything was going to plan. However Aine soon realised she wasn’t wearing the ring anymore… The sand on shipwreck beach is what makes it so lovely, however also makes it very difficult to find a lost engagement ring! We search for 45 minutes, the sand was so fine the ring was gone. Takis went above and beyond in helping us trying to find the ring. He called local fishermen to use there nets and trawl the beach. We eventually found it and there was a great sense of relief and tears all round! So off we went again on the boat to see the blue caves and back to the marina to have lunch with the most stunning scenery. I really can’t thank Takis enough, even if we didn’t lose the ring, the service we received was next to none!! I can’t recommend Nefis travel more, and my Fiancée had an amazing time, one of the best days of our lives.

Our proposal day was a life changing experience. The Nefis team allowed for the most memorable experience of our lifetime. They are professionals in the service they provide and should pride themselves on this. They knew exactly how to plan the day and we were able to plan the details of the whole day through email. They were so helpful. We were so happy with the tour we are thinking to come back again to Zakynthos. And do another similar tour with them because we miss the island and the experience! They take care of you and make you feel so special. Really made us understand the meaning of a quality service. Would recommend to everyone thinking proposing to their special one. They definitely know how to create the surprise factor also! They know the island like the back of their hand, take their advice and just go with it! Once again, thank you so much Jackie and your driver- Guide Taki is the best, don’t let him go! Greetings Matthew

Last summer we booked several trips at Nefis travel, everything was very well organized! Definitely a must if you want to see more of the island. I also arranged a marriage proposal with Nefis, which was super arranged. Despite the fact that it had to be 2 x cancelled, due to the bad weather. My girlfriend had not noticed anything all the time, when we had to postpone the days! We have super nice pictures of the marriage proposal It became an amazing day, great from the beginning to the end and everything was right! And of course the most important thing my girlfriend (now my fiance) said YES!!!
Taki and Jackie thanks again for this great day, it is and remains a great memory for us!

A few weeks ago I got in contact with Nefis as I wanted to propose to my partner whilst in Zakynthos. I have been in constant contact with Jackie and Mariska up until the proposal date and they have been extremely helpful. I had the opportunity to completely bespoke our tour which was really useful and I must say, for what you receive this is extremely great value for money.
On the day, we were greeted by Taki, the worlds greatest tour guide whom was extremely secretive regarding my proposal throughout the day. He completely focused all of his attention on my now finance and really gave us the luxury VIP experience. Full of surprises, jokes, laughter and photographs we had the opportunity to experience the island by a private top quality boat at the hands of our amazing captain Tassos. Taki helped me secretly throughout the day with all aspects of the day and proposal and when the opportunity arrived he took us to a very private beach just for the two of us.
I am not going to give any more away as this truly is an experience that you have to experience yourself and not read about!
I want to take the opportunity to personally thank Taki, our Captain and the rest of the Nefis team for helping myself and my partner rekindle our love for each other and making this the most special holiday of our lives. No chance could we have been this happy without you. Thanks Nefis!

We would just like to say a big thank you to Jackie and the team! They are the best & most organised travel company we have had day trips with. They made our day so special, as i had organised to ask my now wife to be, to marry me on Smugglers Cove each! Jackie sang a greek love song while i said my speech and had champagne ready for us after! (luckily Sarah said yes!). They truly made this day memorable! The trip itself was made personal as there was only 10 of us on the trip and we were the 1st boat to Shipwreck Island and had the beach to ourselves for an hour! The taverna we visited was wonderful, the food is great and the view is amazing. Jackie is really good, and knows her history of the island, so you learn alot too! We also did the Turtle sightseeing trip, where we actually saw a loggerhead turtle, and then went on and swam in the caves which was also a great day. All in all we could not fault Nefis travel, they make the trips very personal to you and would highly recommend them to anybody. Thanks Guys!!

Dear Jackie, we want you and the captain of the beautiful speedboat to thank for an unforgettable vacation. The boat ride to the marriage proposal was super organized to the smallest details: In the morning we were picked up by a luxury Mercedes from our hotel to then be transported to the other side of the island. Here was a speed boat with captain ready to show us the most beautiful places of the island by boat. He could tell a lot about the history of the island and the most beautiful bays show where you do not come with the big boats. Of course we are also going to the Blue Caves,and Shipwreck! And to a a private beach where we could enjoy a delicious lunch on board. I organized with the captain that he would sail back to the next bay and we would pick up a 45 min again. This was the ideal time! In a beautiful setting, with delicious food, bottle of wine, a beautiful beach and no one to be seen in the slightest, I asked my girlfriend to marry me. A day to never forget!!! Thanks for all the help in preparing from the Netherland by email, flexibility, timing and especially the day itself! If you want to you’re your girlfriend / boyfriend to marry you , I can advise you to definitely go into business with Nefis Travel. They will provide the ideal setting. One day you will never forget !!!! grtz Eamon

Hello Jackie and Nefis Travel TeamIt was an amazing day and you guys were great, made the day go very smoothly and helped me out a lot! Thanks again!! Greetings from ScotlandJames Milne

Hi Jackie, I just wanted to say a great big “thank you” to you and your husband Taki, for making our special day come true. Dealing with both of you was an absolute pleasure and everything you promised was over-delivered in spades! The tour was truly amazing and my fiancée is STILL speechless!You guys really took the stress out of the equation and I love how you kept tailoring the experience around how we felt from stop to stop. Anyone considering this service would be absolutely privileged and well advised to have you both organizing the special day for them and I wouldn’t hesitate to tell anyone and everyone about your wonderful service.Thank you both again for your wonderful attention to detail and for making it one of the best days of our lives. Kind Regards, Daniel and Theodora Karpathios

What a wonderfully organized day of Nefis Travel.
A private boat trip with the speedboat from Nefis and our guide Taki!
We left early so we were there before the crowds so we nearly had a private beach at the Shipwreck bay! Then we got all the time to do what we wanted. Good explanation from Taki about the beautiful island, great snorkeling and a great lunch! In the evening we continued our trip with a delicious wine tasting at Grampsas Winery and we also went to an olive oil factory. Then a beautifully dinner with an beautiful set dinner table with white linen enjoying the enchanting sunset where I was took the moment and asked my girlfriend to marry me!!! She said YES!!! What an amazing beautiful day. Nefis listened carefully to our wishes. Taki was ready for us all day! Had a flower and has put us all the day on the photo so we have nice memories about it that we can look back again! Fantastic people, good contact! Thanks Nefis!

After booking a summer holiday in Tsilivi I researched the internet for a nice spot to propose. In doing so I stumbled across Nefis Travel website and their suggestions. As I also wanted to see the shipwreck beach and blue caves I thought it a nice idea to combine both.I contacted Nefis Travel for information and Jackie, the owner, replied immediately. She asked for my preferences and upon that provided me with ideas and information. The very first thing she wrote to me was that Nefis Travel has a 100% YES-rate on the marriage proposal tours.On the day we got picked up at 7.30 sharp by our guide Spiros. We had a nice ride to the harbour with some beautiful stops along the way and got a lot of information about Zakynthos. Spiros and I tried to communicate about the day as subtle as possible which made a lot of fun, because it should, of course, be a surprise. By then my girlfried still thought we would take the tour on a loud, crowded ship with way to many people until she saw the private speed boat.Our captain, a very experienced one, got us fast and smooth to the shipwreck beach were Spiros told us about the history of the shipwreck beach and about the fantastic blue colour of the water. After some pictures taken and plenty of time with almost no people around to explore the beach we took off to our small and private little bay. Spiros who knows the bays around very well suggested this special one to me as it was secluded and only accessible via the sea.Despite some massive rocks on the way to the beach our captain managed to drop us off safely and dry for our lunch break and my big moment. Nefis provided us with a lunch bag and cool drinks. After a swim, some sandwiches and a cool drink I proposed. She said YES!!! :-)Spiros who was waiting with the captain on the boat outside the bay took a dive into the water and swam to the beach to serve us with champagne. It was great.On the way back to Micronissi we were shown several small and fantastic blue caves which could only be reached by our small speed boat. A swim into one of the caves was also possible.Our last stop was at Xigia beach to take a swim in the sulphur rich sea before we were safely dropped off at the entrance to our hotel again. Before leaving the car Spiros handed us a bottle of wine from Jackie as a present in case of a YES.Spiros and our captain made this day memorable for us. It couldn’t have been any better than this!We also would like to say a big THANK YOU to Spiros who not only guided us smoothly through the day, but also is a perfect driver, has a huge knowledge of Zakynthos, its culture and its people and took a lot of pictures of us to remember this day even better.Despite the fact that we never met Jackie in person we are positive that whatever you agree with her will be followed through. She organizes everything very smoothly from behind scenes.

We have to say the trip was fantastic! Spiros from Nefis Travel picked us up from our hotel and following a tour of the island we boarded our own speed boat. Spiros and his crew made sure we were safe and had a great day, managing to keep the plans hidden from Kathryn! Thankfully we maintained the 100% success rate of the trip and she said yes! I couldn’t have thought of a better place to propose and Kathryn approved too thankfully! Both our families have been on many Nefis trips over the years and would highly recommend them! We would both like to thank Jackie, Spiros and team for all their hard work in making our engagement so special. Now that we are happily engaged the wedding planning can begin and I have a sneaking suspicion that Zante may well feature somewhere in that too!
